Hi,
I am using X11R4 and the Athena Widgets. I would like to know if there is
somewhere somebody gathering sort of a database of widgets other than the
standard athena widgets. There are some widgets I would like to write, but I
guess they are general enough so that somebody has probably written them
already. I don't really know how to subclass widgets or create my own
widgets, and would rather get some solid code from a real Xpert.
The widgets I need are:
- A string array text subwidget. Like the Ascii text sub-widget, but takes
an array of string pointers as an input, like the List widget. It is too
bad to have to convert my array of string pointers to a big ascii buffer
or write to an ascii file when I want to diplay my text...
- A numeric keypad widget. This is basically to input a number without
having to use the keyboard and a text widget.
If you have written such widgets and are willing to share your code, or if
you know of a good source of "ready to use" widgets, please let me know.
Thanks in advance.
